Re: st: Re: Histogram % sign

Hmm. If your y axis variable had units units kg, would you put kg on
each label?

No. I don't like the idea that a person reads a number – 42, for exa
mple – but has to have read text somewhere else that tells him the u
nits. I am in favour of currency symbols, degree symbols and, yes, p
ercentages.

I suggest that the space that needs to be saved is in the use of too
many value labels on axes.
